Mary Jo Brodzik is an Associate Scientist at the National Snow
and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences (CIRES) located at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado.
She received a Bachelors of Arts, Summa cum laude, in Mathematics from Fordham
University in 1987. Her experience includes software development, validation
and verification on Defense Department satellite command and control and satellite
tracking systems. She has implemented software to produce and analyze various
passive microwave products at NSIDC, including developing optimization algorithms
for the current SSM/I EASE-Grid Pathfinder operational software that incorporates
Backus-Gilbert interpolation, and algorithms to combine snow and sea ice
data from a variety of visible and microwave satellite imagery. Her research
interests include passive microwave remote sensing of snow and data quality
control. She is currently upgrading the existing system that produces EASE-Grid
SSM/I data to work with AMSR-E data. She is a member of IEEE and the IEEE
Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society.
Kenneth W. Knowles is an Associate Scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences (CIRES) located at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado.
He received a Bachelors of Science in Applied Mathematics from the University
of Colorado in 1983. His experience includes software development for satellite
remote sensing, numerical modeling, scientific visualization, cartography,
photogrammetry, image processing, expert systems design, and real-time programming
for embedded systems.
Ross S. Swick is an Associate Scientist at the National Snow and Ice
Data Center (NSIDC), Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences (CIRES) located at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado.
He received a Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics from St. Olaf College in
1985 and a Masters of Science in Mathematics from the University of Illinois
in 1989. His experience includes interface development for data search and
order and algorithm development for spatial area comparisons. His research interests include spherical trigonometry,
spatial reference systems, geospatial database technologies, geospatial search
methodologies, user interface technologies, and distributed data systems.
